Seeing her like this, the couple who were buying the house suddenly felt that they had been a bit impulsive when negotiating the price of the house just now, and they should avoid any disputes over the house in the future.
"Well, let's think about it again." The couple turned around and left.
Ma Hongxiu got angry when she saw it: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going to buy it? Why are you changing your mind now?"
The sale of a house would not be completed in seven or eight days, and in Kaiyuan County, there were very few families who could afford 160,000 or 170,000 yuan. Ma Hongxiu had finally met this couple who were in urgent need of buying a house.
"What's the matter? Are you planning to force the sale?" The middle-aged man couldn't stand the look on the face of this unfilial daughter: "The house belongs to your mother, so you should discuss it with her."
He heard everything just now. After selling this house, her mother would have to rent a house.
She rented a house and didn't allow her mother to take away the dowry she wanted. What kind of person is she?
The couple left without looking back.
Ma Hongxiu was so angry that she yelled at Su Wanping, "Mom! What are you doing!"
This shout was heard by everyone coming down from upstairs.
In the building next door, He Zixuan, who was with people from the community going to see a house, heard the old ladies in the community talking. He had already prepared his binoculars and had been staring for a long time.
"This Ma Hongxiu is like a madman. Does she want to fight with her adoptive mother?"
He Zixuan's eyes seemed to be on the telescope, and he was extremely anxious.
He Ziyu, who was standing by, was surprised to hear this: "She is crazy! How dare she hit her mother?"
"I told you she's my adoptive mother," said He Zixuan.
"A foster mother is also a mother. The foster mother who raised her is better than her biological mother." He Ziyu pulled the telescope and wanted to see for herself.
During the time that Ma Hongxiu came back, the community was like watching a TV drama, with people discussing Su Wanping's family affairs every day and waiting to see how the next episode would unfold.
“This is better than any TV series.”
There were already some old men and women who couldn't stand it anymore, and they kindly told Su Wanping, "You've done your best for your adopted daughter, why are you still controlling her?"
"If you sell the house and she goes abroad again, she'll use the money to live a carefree life. What will you do?"
Originally, I thought that the adopted daughter’s biological parents, brothers and sisters were not easy to deal with, and Su Wanping would be bullied by them.
Now look, Ma Hongxiu alone is bullying Su Wanping, and she herself is like a piece of wood, saying nothing, which makes people anxious.
Inside the room, Ma Hongxiu was yelling and complaining to Su Wanping.
"If you can't give me a good life, why don't you adopt me in the first place? Why do you want to ruin my happiness?"
"Do you think that you two are the only ones in Kaiyuan County who have some dirty money, and no one else has?"
"I told you, I'm in urgent need of money. My three children are still there. I have to go back and take care of them. I can't delay my work for too long. I finally found a buyer, but you took him away."
"I've been delayed so much and suffered so much loss, will you compensate me?"
Su Wanping was so scared by her scolding that she leaned against the wall: "Hongxiu, this is not the way it should be. I, I am so old, you have to think about me..."
Her eyes were red: "You, you... aren't you forcing me to die?"
"Don't talk about life or death. I didn't force you. You adopted me and enjoyed the joy of being a mother through me. So you have to take responsibility for my life? Did I ask you to buy a house for me?"
Ma Hongxiu felt that her adoptive mother was threatening her. She had never asked her for anything since she was a child, so she had to make it up to her now: "I have never asked you for anything since I was a child. I am in trouble now, and you should help me!"
Su Wanping was crying, what else could she say?
This child has been serious since he was young. He always keeps his head down and doesn't talk to them.
They thought that maybe the child had grown up a little and knew that she was not their biological child, so she didn't dare to ask for anything, so they felt sorry for her.
At the dinner table, she took one look at the meat but didn't pick it up, so they put it in her bowl. She said she didn't want the pretty clothes, but she kept looking at them, so she hurried to buy them for her. She wanted to take an interest class, but she said she wasn't interested, but she looked at them eagerly, so she took the initiative to find a teacher for her.
She never asked for it.
Those were all given to her by the couple themselves.
Isn’t that enough?
Think about that time, other people’s children couldn’t even get enough food to eat, just like her biological mother Zhu Dahong’s family. Her younger sister was in the same situation and was given to someone else to be raised.
But listening to what she said just now, she felt that apart from them, there were other rich people willing to adopt her. Not only could they not thank her for raising her, but they also had to compensate her for the happiness she had lost?
Did she think that since she was born in Zhu Dahong's belly, she would be destined to be the eldest daughter of a wealthy family?
Su Wanping felt her heart was broken.
"I don't care. I'll contact the couple later and agree on the price. Just cooperate and transfer the house to them."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my mother!"
Ma Hongxiu crossed her arms and gave Su Wanping an ultimatum with an impatient look on her face.
Su Wanping cried and felt her heart was broken.
Li Yutong also received a call from He Zixuan. She told her grandmother Chen Xiaoying, "My aunt is scolding my aunt. He Zixuan couldn't hear the sound, and it was intermittent. It seemed that she was disgusted with my aunt for asking her for dowry and furniture, and said that my aunt was hindering her happiness, etc."
Chen Xiaoying didn't understand, but after thinking about the past, she understood: "Do you still remember the red sandalwood peony magpie cabinet in your aunt's house?"
Li Yutong remembered: "I remember, it was very beautiful."
Her grandmother Chen Xiaoying said: "That's your aunt's mother. She would have been willing to buy anything for her dowry except this."
Li Yutong didn't know what to say: "If she is willing to sell her house and rent a place to live, how can she dare to put such valuable boxes and cabinets? The thieves will steal them and sell them later."
Who should I look for then?
There is a security guard and a group of retired old ladies sitting at the door of the community where she lives. They can recognize any stranger who enters the community.
Among the residents there were the director of the Public Security Bureau, the captain of the security team, people from the Water Conservancy Bureau, and the Taxation Bureau. Even thieves dared not go in.
She couldn't imagine how her gentle and kind aunt Su Wanping would live in a dirty, old and dilapidated collective housing complex where there was no property management: garbage was piled in a corner of the yard, and if it was not cleaned up in time, there would be a bad smell. Immoral people would let their children urinate and defecate in the yard of the community, and those who kept dogs would let their dogs poop in the corridor.
The old aunt has never suffered hardship and thinks she can endure any hardship and is willing to sacrifice for her adopted daughter.
Chen Xiaoying sighed: "I'll give her a call."
After watching the excitement for a while, she was about to make a phone call when she suddenly saw a group of people making a noise across the street coming towards her store.
Zhu Dahong rushed in and said, "Big sister, I have something urgent to do. Can I borrow your phone to call Hongxiu?"
Behind her was an old woman with a fierce look on her face, hunched over, leaning on a cane, and walking unsteadily, just like a landlord's wife in the old society, and two policemen following behind her.
Chen Xiaoying gave in and waited to see what Zhu Dahong wanted to say to Ma Hongxiu.
